"This dark, bizarrely comic novel about marijuana growers in the remote PNW is a valuable peek into a unique subculture and the turf wars that can emerge in a prohibitionist paradigm."--The Northwest Leaf "In the tradition of John Steinbeck's novels about West Coast down-and-outers (Cannery Row, Sweet Thursday), Michael Baughman's Grower's Market is the hilariously funny and deeply moving story of an ex-hippie girl with a golden heart and five unforgettable combat veterans turned marijuana growers. Ultimately, Grower's Market is a story about the corruption of the American dream, by war and politics, and the hope that, even so, love and kindness can still live on in the human heart."--Howard Frank Mosher

Synopsis
"Growers Market" is set in remote marijuana country peopled with characters whose backgrounds are diverse and whose futures are uncertain. Sunbeam, who entered adult life as a 1960s San Francisco hippie girl, moved north searching for peace and quiet in unspoiled nature. Eventually she ended up running The Bird of Prey Tavern and growing enough wee, Growers Market is set in remote marijuana country peopled with characters whose backgrounds are diverse and whose futures are uncertain. Sunbeam, who entered adult life as a 1960s San Francisco hippie girl, moved north searching for peace and quiet in unspoiled nature. Eventually she ended up running The Bird of Prey Tavern and growing enough weed to support her tranquil life. The men who eventually work for her - Shadow, Shrimp, Stones, Toon, Shakespeare - are combat veterans searching for some of the same things Sunbeam found. A Vietnam vet named Case, a widower, is Sunbeam's neighbor. Living on the top floor of the tavern is Rainbow, a runaway from Texas, who tends bar and nurses her husband, a quadriplegic known as Uncle Sam. Shadow and Shrimp plan to take the money they've earned growing weed and open a restaurant. Shakespeare is hard at work on a novel about a hero named Superpenis, modeled after the cartoon character Plastic Man, and a New York publisher is interested. The heavily tattooed Toon sees himself as a living visual symbol of a world gone mad, and Stones has fallen in love with a virtual stranger at a homeless shelter. But now in the second decade of the 21st century new people have arrived to claim space in the quiet valleys, next to the clear-flowing creeks, along the green mountainsides. They are large-scale growers, armed gangs, corrupt cops and drug cartels, and violence and death come with them. Shadow, Shrimp, Shakespeare, Toon, and Stones must defend their turf against more heavily armed men who don't mind declaring war to claim this marijuana country as their own. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction--novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home., For ten years, a peace-loving band of old-school hippies have explored their ambitions, projects, and passions in their own smoke-filled bubble in the Pacific Northwest. But now, in the second decade of the twenty-first century, newcomers have arrived to claim space in the quiet valleys next to the clear-flowing creeks and along the green mountainsides that the free-spirited hippies had once called home. Violence and death come with these large-scale growers, armed gangs, corrupt cops, and drug cartels who don't mind declaring war to claim marijuana country as their own.Grower's Market pits old-school hippies against a new, profit-crazed generation to explore the changing culture surrounding the modern marijuana industry. Characters such as Sunbeam, a 1960s San Francisco hippie girl, and peace-seeking combat veterans who work in her restaurant--Shadow, Shrimp, Stones, Toon, and Shakespeare--drive the book forward at breakneck speed and give the reader an endearing glimpse into a unique subculture.
